Well... Since she's dead at the moment, she's not currently the toughest...

But even when alive, no she wasn't... She MIGHT have been a match for Rahne Sinclair, but not for X-23, Psylocke, or Rogue... I think she was a neat character but not in their league..

don't forget Hollow

i think x 23 and wolfsbane are more

@blackdemon: You've posted something like this before, about "rough-like" characters. When she was alive, Feral was very troubled and had difficulty suppressing her "feral" rage and aggressive tendencies. She was abused by a junkie mother and all the men that slipped in and out of her bed, causing homicidal behavior as a child...killing her siblings and eventually her tormentors without remorse.

I've always thought her story was intriguing as a survivor of child abuse struggling with her inner and outer demons. In some ways I think that polishes some of the "roughness" revealing a vulnerable human being scratching out from underneath the bed with claws unsheathed ready to slash any ankles treading too close for comfort. Don't get me wrong, she certainly needed help, y'know, to prevent more murders, maybe get Doc Sampson to run some therapy sessions with her.\

I would agree with @papad1992: & @jhazzroucher: that Hollow/Penance & Marrow are probably the closest competitors as far as unbridled rage and ferocity are concerned.

Feral is a villain. She murdered her step-father (not her father), mother and little brother. She turned on X-Force and joined Reignfire's Mutant Libreation Front, and hunted down the Ani-Mator's remaining experiments.

Even when alive, Feral wasn't the hardest or even the most feral of the X-Ladies.

Now she's just a ghost, and can't touch anyone. All she can do is nag them to death.

@xerox_kitty: do they have the same powers/abilities? was there an issue explaining the similarities between the two?

@papad1992: @xerox_kitty: @jhazzroucher:

I believe Hollow, Domino, and Wolfsbane would be the best choices to be answers to blackdemon's question. I think Wolfsbane especially when and if she were to let her rage out again like she did in X-Force, But I don't think we will see that because I believe she has moved past those demons of hers.

They were both young women in their late teens/early twenties, both with sharp claws & feline/lupine physiology, reflexes & heightened senses. The only difference was that Wolfsbane could transform into an actual wolf; at that time she could not change back into human. So YES they had the same powers but Wolfsbane showed Feral that she needed a new codename, because she wasn't the most feral fuzzy girl on an X-Team.

I agree totally!!

I think the Wolfsbane stuck in midform and bonded psychicaly to Havok is the roughest. During that time Wolfsbane was totally animalistic, I think that even Wolverine would have a tough time handling her during that time. Second place would go to the girl who stabbed the Wolverine, Marrow: "hate is the engine and I am the machine"- best line ever.
